Spolier holes

have a 04 G35 sedan DG - going to put this spoiler on -

http://www.unlimitedtuning.com/aeroUTK1.htm

(medium version)

question is I have the oem spoiler on there now - if I remove this can holes be filled and repainted to look perfect??? my body shop is telling me no, but he hasnt seen the car in person so is prob unaware of hole sizes - if not, I'm going to have a DG trunk lid and spoiler for sale or trade...

^ There are two for coupes, and two for sedans.

But, yeah... you'll have unsightly holes that need to be filled. You better try someone to swap trunks with.

they can be filled, sanded, and repainted to look like new. Any body shop with experience can do this. They will have to weld the holes shut though, you cant simply use a filler for this type of bodywork.

Guess I should update this thread for the next - I removed the oem spoiler from my 04 sedan - underneath the spoiler on the left side is

on the right side is


the right side has an additional hole to run the electrical to the 3rd brake light -
there is also 2 holes underneath the mt.fuji emblem -


I had the car at an autobody shop - all holes were tap welded, sanded, painted etc

turned out mint -

BTW, UT sucks and so does that spoilers you're looking at.

If you really want one, I'll sell you my sedan G2 for $60 shipped, but it's in black obsidian. Fitment is really bad and it took a lot of heating and bending just to get the curve of the thing to look even remotely close to the curve of the trunk, let alone getting it to sit flush on the trunk.

I took that off for the Euro spoiler from Grubbs and now I'm going back to no spoiler.

Looks great! When the body shop painted the trunk - did they blend into the side panels? The color match looks really good.

Also +1 for the cost if you don't mind sharing that info.

thx u - body shop did blend panels - no thanks on the spoiler - and UT has the worst customer service from any business I've EVER dealt with - there company is a joke ! - I ended up getting the oem M3 spoiler from the BMW dealership - will be installed on thursday and pics will be updated here :
https://g35driver.com/forums/g35-sed...-progress.html

Body shop charged me $800 - included painting the M3 spoiler as well - my other option was to switch trunks with someone, but I didnt want the mt.fuji symbol so I still would have had to get 2 holes welded - painted etc...

How hard was it to take the spoiler off? I tried to get the outside bolts off, but it looks like there's no easy way to get to them....

all you have to do is have someone who now what he is doing and have him weld up the holes and then use minor bondo and prim and repaint
